Please note this Keeill is on private land and when I walked there last year and before that I obtained full permission from the farmer/land owner.

Captured this image today whilst travelling from Peel to Ramsey of the sandy West coastline of the Island from Kirk Michael up to Jurby Head, with the evidence of coastal erosion quite prominent.
